Ezekiel 23 talks about the spiritual adultry of Israel and Judah, due to their idolatry. Read Jeremiah 3 (re: Israel and Judah) and Hosea (Judah) for parallel Scriptures.
It's not pornography -- it's the heartfelt anger, jealousy and anguish of God, who considered Himself married to Israel and Judah.
Peace.

Marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman.
Similarly, God was in a sacred covenant with the nation of Israel, the Law covenant, which they vowed to keep.
Just as an unfaithful wife, commits adultery, and treachery with her children, Samaria and Jerusalem made treaties with the nations, and desired immoral relations with them.
So, in Ezekiel 24:3,God composed a proverbial saying, to 'Put the widemouthed cooking pot on, add water and boil the pieces.' So, God wanted to clean them, but it did not work, so he decided to hold an accounting with them.
God decided to profane his sanctuary;(Ezekiel 24:21) and removing their children because they profaned his sanctuary. Ezekiel became a portent for them, as his wife died. Then when they were judged, they, the wife of Jehovah, also died. So, Israel and Judah were laid desolate and went into exile. (Ezekiel 25:3)
Likewise, today, in Revelation 2,3 *all the churches* stand in judgment before Jesus, and he will remove the lampstands, if they do not repent over false teachings, fornication, loss of love, tolerates Jezebel who teaches and misleads his slaves to commit fornication and idolatry, spiritual almost dead, Satan worshipers who claim to be Jews/Christians, lukewarmness, and being spiritually naked.
This will be the fulfillment of Acts 2:17-21, and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. Here it says Jesus will bring the lawless one to nothing by the manifestation of his presence by removing unrepentant Christians, that will leave the true Sons of God, Romans 8:19.
The temple in Ezekiel 40-48,is the result of the accounting; Zechariah 13:8,9.

Ezekiel is unadulterated, mofo! It's what JC really did - not the expurgated version all these uptight "Christians" are trying to sell you. They just pick an choose their gospels, like everyone else who has a giant bill of goods to pawn off. They just ignore the uncomfortable truths.
Well I say "fornicate 'em". Let 'em steam in their own sinful juices. If they don't know how to have a good time like JC told us to, that's their problem.
Amen brother!

Yes this may be considered pronography as well as the Song of Soloman" ,but the point i think that is being made is "if you live by the sword you shall die by the sword " as Jesus told Peter when he cut the ear of one of the soilders // Which i understand it to mean that the way in which you live is the way you will die// If you live an evil life or a good life// This is my opion// I welcome ur comments/// The Song of Soloman is an example of Christ for love for His followers again this is my opion and your comments are welcomed///

4The older girl was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. I married them, and they bore me sons and daughters. I am speaking of Samaria and Jerusalem, for Oholah is Samaria and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
36The LORD said to me, "Son of man, you must accuse Oholah and Oholibah of all their awful deeds. 37They have committed both adultery and murder--adultery by worshiping idols and murder by burning their children as sacrifices on their altars. 38Then after doing these terrible things, they defiled my Temple and violated my Sabbath day! 39On the very day that they murdered their children in front of their idols, they boldly came into my Temple to worship! They came in and defiled my house!
If you look at verse 4 , you will see the sisters were nations. Each girl represents a different nation.
Oholah is Samaria
Oholibah is Jerusalem
Nations are supposed to worship God alone, no other God's, and they are to follow God's law. In God's eyes , if we as a nation have other gods and idols God sees it as adultery in this passage.
37They have committed both adultery and murder--adultery by worshiping idols
So, it is not seen as pornography because the passage is not to be intrepeted as the sisters actually being women, they are representing nations that were not follwing God's law.

No, because the behavior of the Egyptians is reported in the Bible, but the Bible does not condone the behavior. Rape, incest, and murder is in the Bible too, but the Bible does not condone those behaviors.
It could be a forshadowing of the schismatic cult of the Samaritans.

It's not pornography, it's a metaphore.

No, she sinned, selling herself, prostituting herself, that's why she was killed.
